NICK’S PICKS, JUNE 22, CLN DAY 19

BEST & WORST OF TIMES – Yesterday, I wrote about “Running the Table”, a feat I nearly came close to doing on Sunday’s “Father’s Day” card. Well, with Nick’s Picks on Monday, I did run the table but not the way anyone wishes too. However over the last two days my win percentage is 33%, just like the leading rider of the meet, Eric Camacho.

Taking a look at the jockey and trainer standings as we approach the midway point of meet, Camacho has 22 wins, 2 more than Rosemary Homeister. Camacho’s win total is merited in that his wins have come in 65 starts, several tens of races less than his riding foes.

Trainers Ferris Allen and Hamilton Smith have hooked up in the trainers duel with Smith holding a one race lead with 15 wins.
